Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 19, 1910,

Application filed September 2'7. 1909. Serial No. 519,700.

To all whom it mayconccrn. I

Be it known that I, ALFRED H. Nnwrm-zn, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and use ful Improvements in \Vindow-Frames, ofwhich the following is a specification, and which are illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates more especially to window frames made of metal andin which the stile plates are adjustable toward or away from the sashfor the purpose of more easily securing a proper fit of the sash, andespecially to provide t'or adjustment when the frame is not accuratelymade.

The invention consists in a structure such as is hereinafter describedand is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is adetail elevation of the window and its frame, the side members of thelatter being shown partly in section; Fig-2 is a perspective of thestile-carrying bracket members used in connection with the jamb; andFig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

A lower window Sash is shown at 10 and an upper sash at 11. The jambmembers 12 of the frame are formed of channel bars; the web of the barconstituting the outer face of the jamband its side flanges 13, H,standing inwardly toward the sash. The stile-plate 15. carrying stops,as 16, IT, 18, are secured to the cross bars 19 of a plurality ofU-shaped brackets, the side armsQO, 21, of which bear against the innerfaces of the side flanges 12-3. '14: ot" the jamb members. and

. are. secured thereto by means of screw bolts 2L. 1'3, setting throughelongated slots in one of the attached members, as shown, these slotsbeing located in the arms of the brackets. The stiles are secured to thebrackets by means of screws, as 24. In order to adjust the stile platestoward or away from the sash, the nuts 25, 26, carried by the screwbolts 22, 23, are first loosened and after the plate has been brought tothe proper position are again set up tight.

Any-suitable means may be employed for locking the, nuts 25, 26. Forthis purpose so there is shown a screw 2?, setting through a suitableaperture '28, in the bracket member 19, and bearing upon one face of thenut to prevent its displacement.

When the frame is slightly out of true, the two jambs being outot'parallel, the stileplates are brought into parallel relation byadjusting either the lower bracket of one janib or upper bracket of theother jamb, or both, as may be required.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a window frame, in combination, a jamb having instanding flanges,a plurality of U-shaped bracket members having their side arms betweenand bearing against the -jamb flanges bolts securing such arms to theflanges and setting through elongated openings in one of such parts, anda stile plate carried by the bracket. members.

2. In a window frame, in combination, a jamb U-shaped in cross-section,bracketsv bearing against the inner face of an outstanding arm of theainh, and secured there to by a bolt passing through elongated slots inone of the mei'nbers, and. a stileplate J5 cured to the brackets.
